Choosing a venue is one of the most important wedding planning decisions you’ll make as a couple. But, too often a bride will fall in love with the beauty of a place, sign the contract and forget that it should be custom-suited just like her dress. Regardless of your guest list and budget, answering these questions before you book is a great place to start your search. Although it may be hard to find the perfect place that fits all your needs, you should look for a venue that suits your style from the beginning and not a venue that will cost thousands of dollars to make it what you want.

Everyone’s style is different, but we want to know what your venue’s style is. Which type of venue did you choose? Let us know in the poll below.

From the Wedding Planner: “John + Lisette knew what they wanted from the onset of planning; an intimate, mid-century, desert-retro wedding at sunset. On May 29th, 2010, 65 guests were welcomed at The Park estate, a fabulously stylish 50’s residence in Palm Springs, to celebrate their marriage. Old Doris Day films were projected on the exterior walls and to top off the evening, a classically fun ice cream truck arrived out front, serving chilled treats and café lattés to cool guests from the warm desert air and a night full of dancing.” –Sugar Branch Events
